The value of professional actors as standardized patients (SPs) was evaluated in an exercise that normally uses students for SPs.
A history-taking instructional curriculum was developed for a clinical skills exam for second-year students. Students anonymously rated their impressions of actors versus physician assistant (PA) students as patient simulators and assessed this exercise in the terms of the history-taking task areas described in the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA) Blueprint.
PA students perceived the actor SPs as more similar to real patients than peers simulating patients, developed greater confidence in history-taking ability, and believed that they significantly enhanced their history-taking skills.
This study demonstrates that students value the use of professional actors to simulate patients in teaching history-taking. Overall positive results encourage the use of professional actors as standardized patients.
在一项通常使用学生作为标准化病人（SP）的活动中，评估专业演员作为标准化病人的价值。
为二年级学生的临床技能考试开发了一个病史采集教学课程。学生们匿名评价了他们对演员与医师助理（PA）学生作为病人模拟器的印象，并根据医师助理国家认证委员会（NCCPA）蓝图中描述的病史采集任务领域对该活动进行了评估。
与模拟病人的同龄人相比，PA学生认为演员标准化病人更类似于真实病人，对病史采集能力更有信心，并认为他们显著提高了病史采集技能。
本研究表明，学生重视在病史采集教学中使用专业演员模拟病人。总体积极结果鼓励使用专业演员作为标准化病人。
